Monitoring Healthcare System for Infants: A Review

Abstract

In this research, infants and newborns mortality can decrease significantly to 50% by monitoring vital signs and early intervention. Real time care is indeed vital for sick baby in ensuring the appropriate treatment is given and thus more attentions are required to detect any symptoms or signs of infants' diseases. Hence, a system is proposed that integrates several functions in one single device and analyze the data from sensors along with the interaction of the device that will inform the conditions which will be determined by standard based clinical studies. The proposed system could be able to reduce the burden on hospitals and parents, with less direct intervention for unserious conditions and allow early intervention for serious conditions. The integrate system will offers technology to assist for existing medical practices and also for real-time monitoring system for newborn, special treatment and assistance for newborns.
